The sandy waste lying between the flshermen's village and the park pro- per is crossed by a gravel road. re- cently constructed by the Govern- ment. This road is being extended this season from the entrance of the park to the pavilion and picnic grounds. At the picnic grounds the Government some years ago con- structed a residence for the park ranger. a dancing pavilion and a wharf, in addition to the usual con- veniences for picnic parties. An efl'ort has been made to stock the park with deer and pheasants, but for several reasons progress has been slow. The pens at present contain a good numâ€" ber of pheasants, and about a dozen deer are at Wild in the park, while seven or eight more are confined in the enclosures. The left side of the Eau, you will notice at a glance, is covered with a. dense forest, mostly pine and oak. It is a large, triangular peninsula, ly- ing between the Rondeau harbor and the lake, and containing some thou- sands of acres. This peninsula, ten miles long by two or more wide, is what is commonly know: as the Ron- deau Provincial Park. Since the new road has been built through the sand the park has be- come a. favorite picnic resort, and it is not an uncommon thing to find a. couple of thousand people gathered together from all parts of the coun- try. A'nd at the Government wharf you are almost sure on picnic days to find a sailboat moored, in com- mand of a characteristic darkcy preacher, who in ferrying you across the water supplements his income by the kindred calling of "sming soles." an .5. A mile and a half south of Mor- peth is Terrace Beach, a group of summer cottages, and a favorite re- sort for the smaller picnics. An un- used dock, rapidly rotting aWay, and an empty warehouse remind the visitor of the days when Morpeth Was the shipping port of the district in the old times before the railroad came in. I took a turn through the ware- house and found it haunted only by bats and by the chimney swallows, who glued their nests to the walls of the grain bins. From Terrace Beach the road runs along the shore of the lake for sever- al miles, and a more charming drive than this it would be difficult to find. Within a mile or so of the Eau we come to a little village of rather pic- turesque fishermen's cottages. which lie along the side of the isthmus sep- arating the lake from the Eau. It is safe to say that no prettier drive exists in Ontario than that from the village of Morpeth, in Kent, to the lighthouse at the entrance to the Rondeau Harbor. At leaSt noth- ing could be more charming from a naturaIiSt’s point of view. Morpeth itself is a quaint old-fashioned little village, which atone time was a thriving metropolis, the centre of trade for the district; but when the railroad came into Ridgetown, five miles away, it diverted the business from Morpeth, and for the last thirty lage contained two interesting build- ings at least, tions of their own aside from any changes in the commercial world. One is the old school house, in which the late Hon. David Mills taught in his younger days. and which is now used as a residence. The other was the birthplace of Archibald Lampman, Canada’s first and truest poet. This building was worth very little. only a few hundred dollars at the most. and was used as an English church parsonage. It could have readily been preserved at a small outlay. but no effort was apparently made to save it, and it Was pulled down ago to make way for a sa ing. ‘ ‘ ‘D , LL ALL ABOUT RONDEAU ":11, uu, run, 511ku WU!

From a naturalist’e point of view, hcwever, the park has greater at- tractions than its picnics. First and foremost are its famous black squirrels, which exist hero in thou- sands, and are growing more numer- ous and more tame every year. The red squirrels, the enemies of the black, are shot oil, but all the other smaller rodents -â€" the chipmunks. muskrats, wood hares. raccoons and woodchucksâ€"exist in considerable numbers. Every spring a. trapper ob- tains the privilege from the (lovem- ment of trapping muskrats and dig- ging out the foxes, which are in danger or becoming too numerous on the upper end of the park. Next to the squirrels the wonderful monster ant-hills claim my attun- tlon. The majority of these giant antâ€"hills are six or eight feet in di- ameter, but I haVe seen some as large as fifteen or twenty feet. Some of the ants in these communities are black, but the majority are red-headed. the Rondeau Park, it is claimed. being the only place in Ontario where this species is foundu But, although they are exceedingly interesting. Hey are in some respects very disugfieeable, for they seem to cover not only ev- ery square inch of the ground, but also the trunks of the‘trees, up and down which they malt. o Perpetual procession. In the lower end of the puk a great number» of them have been dug out and [ed to the pheas- ants in the pens, who are especially fond of the larvae. ’ mmfihkm M [1" Spot In Wotan P.‘Ih . Vex-tum.

As a thriving, growing, go-ahead tom it had its own “hopes in days past, as the farms {or a mile around actually laid out and fenced oil into streets and blocks destined never to be built abundantly testify. Its founders long ago had great expectations regarding the great trading metropolis which should some day rise on the marehv borders of the Eau. There was a momentary flutter oi excitment, and speculation ran high. But alas! to- day the wild duck rides unmolested in its reedy harbors and the call oi the night heron alone disturbs the silence of its rushy shores. Between Shrewsbury and the Gov- ernment dock, for which the Wave Crest is bound, the shore is, in a sense, uninvitingâ€"low, marshy. roedy â€"g:iving no indication of the rich farm lands behind it. But do“ in these same desolate marshes there Is at least one spot oi romance about it.
